Like adults, kids also struggle with stress. Too many commitments, conflict in their families and problems with peers are all stressors that overwhelm
American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:
#childstress #helpingchildrenwithstress #howstressaffectschildren Stress affects all of us even children. Child stress is just how it sounds. It is the stress that a child feels throughout their day. It can come from school, being bullied, being overscheduled or worse from parents fighting. How stress affects children is no different from how stress affects adults. They feel anxiety, depression, stomach problems, etc. Since they are younger and more immature how they react to this stress can be very different from adults. Helping children with stress is easy. They range from simple stress reduction steps like make sure they get enough sleep and give them time to be a kid (play time) to more complicated ones like not overscheduling them. Overscheduling a child is when you have them doing too much like karate, baseball and other activities. You can also try teaching your children to listen to their bodies and to learn that everyone makes mistakes.

Feeling stressed? We’re all used to pinning it on our jobs, schedules or relationships. But would you have guessed that foods could be the culprits?
American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:
#causesofstress #reducestresswithahealthydiet #holisticstressprevention Stress is a reaction we all experience on a daily basis. There are a number of causes of stress that include our diet. The foods we eat could be adding to our stress levels. Combating stress could be as easy as eating a piece of fruit instead of a piece of pizza. Reduce stress with a healthy diet. Eat less refined sugars and processed foods can not only make you healthier but less stressed as well. Holistic stress prevention advice also suggests to stay away from "factory farmed" eggs and dairy. Most of the time these food sources are heavily processed with hormones and antibiotics which is not good for stress nor your health. In the end stick to an organic, GMO free diet and your stress will melt away as quickly as your waist line.

A new study shows how the immune system’s response to stress causes symptoms of anxiety.
American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:
#factsaboutstress #understandingstress #howstresscanharmyou We all know that stress is a part of life. Either in our private or professional lives we experience stress everyday. Understanding stress is a key part in learning to deal with stress. There are plenty of resources with facts about stress available to us. From how stress can harm you to how to avoid stress are all online for us to research. An interesting article states how our immune systems could be responsible for our feelings of anxiety from stress. A study from the Ohio State University confirmed in lab mice that when put under stressful situations immune cells traveled to the brain and activated regions associated with anxiety. This could also lead to an explanation to why we tend to get sick when we are stressed out.

Teachers show improvements in burnout, psychological symptoms, and classroom performance after participating in an eightweek stress reduction intervention.
American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:
#stressreductionprogram #teacherburnout #stressatschool With the new school year in full swing, teachers are beginning to feel the effects of stress at school. A lot of teachers are over worked and under paid. Many times they have to bring teaching materials from their homes. Teacher burnout is a serious problem. They are responsible for educating our children and taking care of them while we are working. We cannot allow them to suffer from burnout and stress. Helping reduce stress in the classroom can be as easy as keeping your child's homework organized or helping them prepare for a big exam. Some schools offer a stress reduction program for teachers as well. One such program is talked about in this article. It is an 8 week program designed to lower teacher stress. It uses mindfulness based stress reduction or mMBSR for short. For more on this subject please go to this article.

Five years of rolling redundancy and change programs have taken their toll on many employees and increasing numbers are struggling with anxiety and depression.
American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:
#workplacestress #overcomingstress #reducingemployeestress #waystorelaxatwork Stress at work is becoming a big issue in today's business world. With the downsizing of the work force, more employees are seeing increased workloads, less vacation time and even less time to relax. Overcoming stress is becoming a full time job. Workplace stress does not have to be a production killer. It can be easily dealt with and production can return to normal. Reducing employee stress should not be seen as a task or a job but as someone a good manager/owner wants to do for their employees. Encourage them to take their vacation time. Give their a size bonus for their hard work. Lastly research ways to relax at work. Finally poor communication is a major reason for job related stress. Not have good lines of communication with your employees can turn into a big problem. Being able to talk about problems openly helps clear up a lot of misconceptions and can help reduce office stress.

American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:
#retirementstress #teachingstressmanagement #howtomanagestress #dealingwithstress As retirement approaches everyone seems to think that stress will retire with the job. The truth is stress does not retire. It just comes from different sources. Retirement stress can come from a number of areas. From a huge change in lifestyle to a reduction in income can all trigger stress. This is why retired adults should learn how to manage stress. Dealing with stress is easy when you are use to it. However these new sources of stress can be especially troubling. Teaching stress management techniques can be extremely helpful. Because your retirement is about sitting back and enjoying yourself, not stressing over it.

This article blew me away when I read that American Medical Association quoted 30 years ago 50% of illness was related to stress and now it is up to 90%. While this is obviously an American statistic, we have a similiar lifestyle and standard of living so I am assuming Australia would be something similiar. Having spent over 30 years of my life nursing, I believe I have a pretty good insight into Australia's health. When I think of the amount of money and resources that are dedicated to mental health compared to other areas, I realise that it is severely underfunded. One reason may be the stigma attached to mental health and reluctance of people to admit that they may have a problem and need help to cope. It was also enlightening when you realise the value of her statement that stress is not in the situation but in the perception. We dont always have the opportunity to control other people and situations but we can recognise within ourselves our perceptions and because we own them then we have the potential to change them.
